About Our Internet Data

It’s our mission to give you all the useful data we can on
Internet and TV service providers so you can make your own
decision. Please note that DecisionData does have a paid
financial relationship with some of the providers listed. This
does not impact which providers are shown, as we show all
providers we have data for.

We recommend starting with the providers at the top of the list,
as these are the providers that are more likely to have coverage
at your home or business.

The majority of our data comes from the FCC. We’ve also gathered
real-world usage data and combined it. As with any large
database, there are plenty of errors. We’ve tried to fix
provider errors, but there are probably some we’ve missed. Let
us know if you see any mistakes! This data has been particularly
hard to gather and compile, so we hope it’s useful. If you find
it helpful in finding Internet providers near you, please share
it on Facebook or Twitter.

Satellite TV and Internet Providers

Satellite TV is generally a good choice for customer service and channel selection. DIRECTV and DISH are ranked above traditional wired TV providers in almost every survey and study done. If you're not sure which provider is best, make sure to read our DISH vs. DIRECTV comparison.

Satellite Internet (like HughesNet) should be a last resort. Latency is often very high, making it impossible to live stream video or play games. For rural customers with no wired internet service, however, HughesNet is likely the best option.

About HughesNet Internet in Buford,GA

Mobile (Cell) Internet Providers

Mobile/wireless data service is often marketed in a way that makes it hard to compare. We've included access charges and unlimited talk/text on cell phone plans as well as autopay/paper-free discounts to show what you'll actually pay for the listed data. Monthly payments will be higher if you choose a subsidized phone.

Consider mobile internet as your primary access if: (1) no wired providers are available; (2) your data usage is light (few videos); and, (3) your computer or main device can connect to 4G or connect wirelessly using your phone as a hot spot. 4G data is often faster and much lower in latency than satellite internet. You can connect using a hotspot, but it's generally a better idea to buy a cellular modem.

No overage fees on unlimited. T-Mobile alerts you and throttles LTE data if you go over your plan.
